kmixer(01) during install
I am having trouble reinstalling ME on a compaq
computer. First thing I did was Format c:. Then after a couple tries at a regular install I defaulted to the extract all .CAB files and run setup /c. Doing this everything went fine until the last 13 minutes of the install. During the driver setup portion there was one error cmdninst caused an error in kernell32.dll. I thought this was likely my ethernet card, I always have to install that driver manually after install. But then when install got to the system configuration it kept erroring and writing errors to the log. Now I've got an error message I cannot seem to pass (it keeps coming back everytime I restart, haven't finished install yet) BSOD says File Name: kmixer (01) +00009066 Error: 00:0028:FF180CE6. Any advice would be appreciated. Can I somehow run the system configuration again outside the setup routine? |

That looks like a sound driver problem from here (Kmixer is the kernel audio
mixer) Questions Why are you reinstalling? How are you reinstalling? - clean or OTT? - from the HD, or the CD? Did you remember to disable your AV, and the BIOS protection? Try disabling your sound card/chip and rebooting - with any luck it'll complete the install, and you can then worry about the drivers and card. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's or http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/f.../Mar27pmvp.asp "Elizabeth" wrote in message ...

Reinstall reason = an auto pop-up program got in, and I believe there was a virus because the computer kept having xxx caused an error in unknown errors. I tried stinger (after running once it couldn't find the V def file), AVG, Ad-aware which all didn't do much. CWShredder was the next thing I was going to try but then the registry kept having errors even after running scanreg /fix. Thus I gave up trying to fix it, data was already backed up, nothing lost.
Reinstall method = clean HD(via running format c: ). But had errors so ended up copying & extracting files (from ME install disk to c:\w9xflat) so ran setup from HD, not CD. At this point I don't have it connected to internet until I get my basic programs (windows, AV, firewall) installed. So right now there is no AV, and I have no BIOS protection enabled. Would you give me some direction on how to disable the sound card/chip? I'm sure the steps are basic but I cannot figure it out in DOS. When looking in my BIOS I see that both the Ethernet Controller and Compaq Audio Device are both on IRQ5. And if I change the IRQ for one, they both change. I removed the audio references that I saw in system.ini (after creating a backup of course). When the computer is restarted (w/o EBD) Windows ME starts with the flash screen, goes black, then gives me the KMixer error again. If I press any key after the error I get a blue blank screen, after a Ctrl+atl+del I see that the only task listed is mmtask. I just have the manufacturer installed sound, speakers aren't plugged in (figured I could add accessories one at a time later). Thanks for your help! |

Go into the BIOS and switch off both the Ethernet controller, and the Sound
there, then reformat again, and reinstall. I suspect that Compaq have, in their usual way, used highly proprietary hardware, which a 'normal' ME can't cope with.

That fixed it, thanks! I was using a MS ME disk. I
think you 100% correct with Compaq and ME. I also minimized my ME install and added features a couple at time. -----Original Message----- Go into the BIOS and switch off both the Ethernet controller, and the Sound there, then reformat again, and reinstall.
